The Lanphere and Ma-le’l Dunes National Natural Landmark is a place where sand dunes, forest, and wetland meet just a few miles from Arcata, California. This 800-acre area, the most pristine dune system in the Pacific Norwest, offers a range of recreational opportunities that allows visitors to experience a diverse and dynamic coastal landscape of forests, salt marshes, sand dunes and beaches. The name Ma-le’l comes from a placename of the ancestral Wiyot tribe. Photo courtesy of Bob Wick
